VAPOR PRESSURE SENSOR
For testing of vapor pressure sensor, see VAPOR PRESSURE SENSOR under FUEL EVAPORATION SYSTEM under EMISSION SYSTEMS & SUB-SYSTEMS.
VVT sensor may also be referred to as camshaft position sensor. For testing of camshaft position sensor, see CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE under IGNITION SYSTEMS in BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - V6 & V8 article.
- Wheel speed sensors on each wheel deliver an input signal to Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU). ABS ECU converts input signals from wheel speed sensors to a 4-pulse input signal to the instrument cluster. Instrument cluster then converts 4-pulse input signal to a rectangular waveform and then sends input signal to Engine Control Module (ECM).
- If problem exists with vehicle speed sensor, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be stored in Engine Control Module (ECM). See RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - INTRODUCTION article.
- Vehicle speed sensor is located on transaxle. (Scheme 136) Remove vehicle speed sensor. Connect voltmeter positive lead to terminal No. 3 (outer terminal) and negative lead to terminal No. 2 (center terminal) on vehicle speed sensor. (Scheme 137)
- Using jumper wires, connect positive battery terminal to terminal No. 1 (outer terminal) and negative battery terminal to terminal No. 2 (center terminal) on vehicle speed sensor. (Scheme 137)
- While rotating vehicle speed sensor shaft, ensure voltage changes from zero volts to at least 11 volts. Voltage should change 4 times per revolution of the shaft. Replace vehicle speed sensor if voltage does not change as specified. Remove test equipment.
